US12644672 - Automated methods of collecting environmental data along a ballistic trajectory

Automated methods may comprise automatically converting a ballistic trajectory of a projectile into a ballistic flight path. The ballistic flight path may comprise one or more segments. Each of the segments may comprise a plurality of coordinates. The coordinates may be located along the ballistic trajectory. The automated method may comprise automatically navigating an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) along the ballistic flight path. The automated method may comprise automatically collecting environmental data along the ballistic flight path through employment of the UAV.

US12435951 - Sight

An apparatus for providing information for adjusting a sight of a projectile weapon is provided. The apparatus comprises an input for receiving information regarding measured velocity of a projectile in flight at least at one moment of time. The apparatus comprises an analyzer for determining the velocity and moment of time; an estimator for estimating value for a set of parameters; a calculator for using velocity, moment of time, estimated value and a zero-in angle of the sight to calculate a velocity of the projectile at the moment of time; and a comparator for comparing calculated velocity and measured velocity to determine whether a difference between the calculated and the measured velocity is less than a predetermined value. The apparatus is configured to repeat estimating, calculation of the velocity of the projectile and comparison with another estimated value for the set of parameters to model a trajectory of the projectile.
